Drove them both because I was in the market for an SUV. I ended up taking the QX80. It's phenomenal! Older technology but why fix what's not broken?
Nissan/Infinity QX80 are rock solid invincible suv despite of its old platform.

What’s crazy is you can pick up a good 2018 QX80 for practically almost nothing. They surely don’t keep their value so if you’re looking to buy a used one, they are there for half the price of a new one
I'm leasing the 2021 QX80 4WD Sensory, and I actually like it. Yeah, it's been outdated, but it is more reliable than the American and European SUVs. The Lexus LX SUV is the king of reliability with off-road capability.

Actually the QX80 is a Patrol with a tuxedo (mall edition). But in international markets, Patrols actually go neck and neck with LC and actually better in on road or off road performance with more aggressive axle ratio, front and rear lockers, Hydraulic suspension (HBMC works similar to a LX Hydraulic suspension), more power, more torque, more cargo space, more ground clearance, etc and yet 1000s cheaper.

Interesting to see this review because I have a AT4 and my neighbor has a QX80. I like my AT4 a lot, massive and better technologies. Actually I like the buttons because they can save spaces.

I owned (3) GM dealerships. Was successful with it. Sold them a year ago and retired. I've NEVER bought a car in my life and I'll do so in 2 years and I will NOT by a GM car. GM's warranty policies punished dealers who actually tried to fix problems and take time to diagnose. There's no way in hell I'm going thru that as a customer. So even though I've had Yukon Denalis for 20 years - - a new one every 6 months - I'll be going Honda, Acura, or Lexus (depending on how my investments pan out in retirement lol)
I must say... the 2022 GMC Yukon Denali XL is the best SUV i have ever had.

Hey. Great review. Have you ever figured out how to use the Infiniti entertainment system with iPhone ? Or do you need a fire stick for streaming ? Or android device like tablet. ? Thx
Great video. I’ve been watching you guys for over 8 years now. Wow. Anyway both are great looking trucks. I personally picked up a 2018 Sequoia, almost new and not nearly what these cost new. I took advantage of the fact that is not a popular truck, doesn’t have all the unnecessary crap, that eventually will break, and it’s solid as a rock!! Love the space and the V8 it’s awesome. All of these are thirsty but if you need a big truck for moving around people and things, for me the sequoia did it. And I can seat 8 people comfortably. If you need a big suv, look around for certified ones.
I have a 2020 suburban which i bought brand new. It’s my 3rd and last suburban. I will be going for infinity because 1- i want comfortable ride 2- i want my truck to last longer.
Love my qx80!
The interior of the Infiniti is BEAUTIFUL but I am not a fan of the exterior styling AT ALL. On the other hand... The Tahoe AT4 is gorgeous 😍👍🏼👍🏼🥰🔥

The dog made a cameo. I agree with a lot of commenters in terms of f/e. If you have the means, many don't think about that. However, some may not have the means, but get the vehicle anyway. Otherwise, great video and hopefully the dog will make more cameo's in the future!

Qx80 looks so good on the outside especially in pearl white, but the cluster being super old, the trans…..they need to put the 9 speed auto, digital cluster, and aluminum window/lock switches so u don’t feel like your in a Nissan. It’s their flag ship, so if they want to compete with the big luxury domestic brands, they deff need to redo the whole interior, touch the outside a big even those it’s only 3 years old as far as the redesign.
that compartment in the GMC is for your smokes, and most shift levers now are electronic , they aren't physically connected to the transmission so going to buttons is cheaper and saves a lot of space.

At least the one in the GMC is easy to use...unlike the electronic console shifters where you have to push or pull the lever ever so slightly to put it in drive or reverse. Cadillac🙄. If they really want to do electronic shifters, they should learn from Ford (not Lincoln) or Honda.

The GMC still has the ticking time bomb DFM lifters, now on every cylinder vs. just 4 like AFM - giving twice the likelihood of a failure 😅
I have a 2021 QX80 and I get 19/20 average I’m in Eire Pa.
The harsh truth is that GM reliability with major drivetrain components has dropped so low that owning a Yukon out of warranty is a big risk. The QX80 is so old its shameful, but the engines and transmissions in these things actually last a good long time. If you are just leasing for 3 year, definitely buy the Yukon. But if you are buying a long term vehicle to tow/haul with, buy a used 2015 Armada for less than $30K and get you'll still everything the new QX80 has.
